Chapter 35: Ask Mr. Fu to give me a free meal
Bitao had just been scolded by Xie Zaozao, and she was completely stunned with anger.
When Shuyue asked her to share the clothes with Xie Zaozao, she couldn't help but complain.
"Shuyue, don't you realize that Xie Zaozao is so coquettish and isn't a serious person? Sir, you let her into the yard so easily. Aren't you afraid of something happening?"
Shu Yue asked curiously, "What could possibly happen? Even if she's not serious, what can she do to you, Master? You're just a maid, why would you be so involved in these matters?"
Bitao could only leave with her clothes and a dark face.
The maids in the Fu family all have two sets of clothes for each of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Now she is wearing a long gown with a green background and pink flowers, and a small white moon-colored jacket.
Xie Zao Zao got the clothes and dressed herself in front of the mirror. She looked completely different from the little girl who looked like she was fleeing from a disaster.
The green background with pink flowers would look tacky if you weren't careful, but Xie Zaozao's pretty face with a hint of innocent youth made the dress look even better.
When Mr. Fu heard that a little maid had come to Tingfeng Pavilion, he came to see her specially. When he saw Xie Zaozao's pretty appearance, he nodded repeatedly.
Even if his nephew doesn't marry a wife, it would be good to have a few pretty girls to serve him. Even if he doesn't want a little girl to serve him, it would be good to have more popularity. His nephew is almost living like a monk.
But Mr. Fu’s behavior obviously made Bitao even more upset.
She stood there with her chin raised proudly, looking down at Xie Zaozao.
"Since we are all members of Tingfeng Pavilion, there are some things I must make clear to you."
"The most important thing in this courtyard of yours is to follow the rules. We in Guanshan Pavilion must not break the rules and seduce the master's people."
After she finished speaking, a pair of eyes fell on Xie Zaozhao. Xie Zaozhao stood there obediently for her to look at. Apart from her expressionless face, there was nothing wrong with her. However, Bitao looked back and forth between her plump chest and slender waist several times, her eyes full of vigilance.
But when he saw that there was a child hanging on her, he immediately felt relieved and snorted in disdain.
"Anyway, if I discover anyone with ill intentions, get out immediately."
After saying this, Bitao turned and left.
Although Xie Zaozao's rare attempt at being well behaved didn't win Bitao's approval, she wasn't discouraged.
Go find Shuyue first.
Shuyue was about to go down the mountain to buy brushes, inkstones, and cinnabar for Fu Yanzhi when Xie Zaozao said, "I'll go."
After saying that, he flew out and brought the things back in a short while. Shuyue was very satisfied.
[Ding, 'Win the Attention of the Higher-ups' mission progress for today, completed (1/5).]
Xie Zaozao hurried to the school to find Chen Jiayou again.
Chen Jiayou was squatting under a tree, yawning with a book in his hand.
Xiao Lihai seemed to like Chen Jiayou very much. He started babbling when he saw Chen Jiayou. Chen Jiayou turned to look at Xie Zaozao with surprise, threw the book behind him, and rushed over to hug the child.
During the process, she even tripped over her shoes which were not put on properly, and then she held the chubby little cub with a smile on her face.
After holding the little one and playing with him for a while, Xie completed her clocking-in task early. Without spending even a second with Chen Jiayou, she left with the child in her arms.
Chen Jiayou was reluctant to leave: "Hey, let's play for a while longer."
"If you want to hold your child and play with him in the future, come to Tingfeng Pavilion."
Check in yourself.
Chen Jiayou nodded vigorously as if he had gotten some great bargain.
Two people can do it.
Xie Zao Zao came to Butler Liu again and found that Butler Liu looked depressed and kept coughing.
Seeing Xie Zaozao, Butler Liu almost cried: "Zaozao, ever since you left, I, Uncle Liu, have fallen ill."
Originally, there were few servants in the school, and they worked as hard as a thousand-mile horse every day. After Xie Zaozao finally came, everyone had just rested for a few days before being asked to leave by Mr. Fu.
If it were someone else, we could still go and rob him, but who would dare to rob the person Mr. Fu wants?
Thinking of this, Butler Liu burst into tears: "It's too early. Uncle Liu is not young anymore. He won't be able to run for many more years. If Uncle Liu dies of exhaustion in the future, remember to burn incense for him every year."
Xie knew early on that the old man was just grumbling and that his words were not meant to be taken seriously: "I'll go."
Butler Liu: "Oh, how can this be so embarrassing? You have other things to do."
He seemed very polite, but he readily handed the list to Xie Zaozao.
After Xie Zaozao promised Butler Liu that she would come to help collect meals every day, Butler Liu stopped coughing completely and even somersaulted on the ground not long after Xie Zaozao left.
These three people are easy to deal with.
The difficult ones are Fu Yanzhi and Bitao.
Fu Yanzhi seemed to be studying something. He didn't come out of the room and was not seen for the whole day.
His card just won't work.
Xie Zao Zao asked, "Is failure to complete the punch-in task still a painful punishment?"
The system hesitated and said, "Because the main system feels that pain is of no use to you, it says that if you fail to punch the card, your cultivation will be deprived for 48 hours."
Xie Zaozao: “…”
System: "If I can't fly, I won't be able to check in forever. If I can't check in, I will be punished all the time..."
Xie Zao Zao asked, "Your main system hasn't been killed by anyone. Is it because it's so powerful?"
The system dared not answer.
"Or because no one has ever seen it?"
System: “Uh…”
It feels like a life-or-death question.
However, Xie Zaozao didn't hesitate any longer, but went straight to Fu Yanzhi's door and knocked. It was Shuyue who opened the door. Seeing Xie Zaozao's obvious impatience, she said, "Let's talk later if you have anything to say."
"I want to see the gentleman." Xie Zao Zao said.
Shuyue: "We are so busy, you can watch it if you want? Sir, you are not a monkey on the mountain."
As soon as the words fell, Shuyue covered her mouth. She felt something was wrong, but she didn't want to say anything, so she could only cough dryly.
"Anyway, go ahead and just do your duty as a maid."
Xie Zao Zao said, "I am just fulfilling my duties as a maid. It's getting colder and colder. You should have more charcoal braziers in your room, otherwise you will easily catch a cold."
Shuyue: "That's true, but——"
Xie Zaozao lit the fire in his hand and handed it to Shuyue: "Take it."
Shuyue was stunned as she held the charcoal brazier in her hands. She wondered where this girl got the brazier from, how did she light the fire, and why was it in my hand? Holy shit, it's so hot!
Shuyue ran into the house with the basin in her hand, only to drop it on the ground with a narrow escape, blowing on her palm.
Fu Yanzhi asked: "Where did you find the charcoal basin?"
"Oh, Xie brought it so early. He said he was worried you would be cold."
Fu Yanzhi was silent for a while: "Check if there is anything in this charcoal basin?"
He believed that he was of no help to Xie Zaozao and even restricted her. Given that woman's character, she would be considered a kind person if she didn't poison him.
Shuyue: “???”
Although she didn't understand why, Shuyue still checked it, but found nothing.
Upon learning that there was nothing strange in the charcoal brazier, Fu Yanzhi nodded and continued to study the things in his hands.
The two had just begun their research when they heard Xie Zaozao's voice from outside: "You guys, do you want to eat?"
Shuyue pushed the door open speechlessly, thinking that Xie Zaozao usually looked cold, so why did she become such a different person when she saw their husband?
Shuyue decided to dissuade Xie Zaozao: "...I advise you not to have such thoughts. Sir, I am not interested in love between men and women."
Over the years, many women have been interested in Fu Yanzhi, either openly or secretly, and some have even shown their affection to him openly in public.
During a night hunt, a female mystic was injured and her clothes were torn. She gasped and threw herself into Fu Yanzhi's arms and said, "Mr. Fu, I'm cold and scared. Can you lend me your cloak?"
Finally, Fu Yanzhi said, "I'm cold too."
The female mystic was speechless.
Even Baili Danning, the pampered eldest daughter of the Baili family, was scolded by Fu Yanzhi several times. When she had lived here for half a year, she even told Mr. Fu that if this maid didn't wear the clothes she was supposed to wear, she should be kicked out.
Baili Danning, who had dressed up many times and hung around in front of Fu Yanzhi, was so angry that she collapsed a room.
There are so many examples like this that Shuyue no longer has any hope for her husband's love life.
Therefore, Xie Zaozao, a young widow who has given birth to a child, should not expect anything. Mr. Fu might even forget the next day that there is a new maid in his courtyard.
Shuyue wanted to chase Xie Zaozao away, but Xie Zaozao just put down the tray in his hand and said, "Oh, then sir, if you don't want to eat, you can eat it."
A plate of white and green stir-fried cabbage and a bowl of millet porridge.
The dish looks very simple, but the aroma keeps coming into your nose.
What’s even more surprising is that this dish seems to have a faint spiritual power flowing through it.
Shuyue hesitated a bit, wondering whether to take it in or not. Although it smelled nice, Mr. would definitely not be interested in it, and might even find it a bit annoying. If he was blamed...
Then I heard Fu Yanzhi's voice from inside: "Shuyue, bring it in."
